Meanwhile, Rokky simply thought he was done for. He was no longer the strongest among Annelise’s mates. That was his only advantage, and now, he no longer had it.

As for Snowball, who had just finished settling the shaman and returned to hear this, a single thought crossed his mind. Did he just swoop in to steal our most prized possession?

Snowball shook his head and hurriedly asked Armelise, “Didn’t you say you had nothing to do with him? That day behind the pile of weeds… It wasn’t just a hand around the waist, was it?”

Adrian was shocked when he heard that, and he rubbed his temples.

He’d been enduring for ages. Even the fox already had cubs, yet he still hadn’t mated with Annelise.

Now, he had to compete against a bird. Was he being pranked?

Adrian immediately went over and grabbed Annelise’s sleeve. “I never knew things were progressing between you and Riven, Ms. Crawford. Didn’t you scold him when he got way?”

He added, “Let me think. Did you start to have feelings for him when you two were alone in the room, him bare-chested as you draped your outer robe over him?”

“No,” Annelise said. How did he arrive at such a conclusion?

She didn’t even know Riven had feelings for her. After all, it didn’t seem like sparks flew between them.

But when Snowball heard Adrian’s remarks, he was taken aback. “He was bare-chested in front of Annelise? Why didn’t you say so earlier, you idiot?”

In an instant, the crowd around Annelise descended into chaos.

Everyone had been focused on the chief, but now, she had been completely sidelined.

At the same time, members of the tribe felt relieved.

“Great! Don’t you think Annelise is truly something? She managed to capture Riven’s interest.”

“He’s a feisty one, tied to fire and calamity.”

“I wonder what it is about her that drew his attention.”

“Now, what about the chief…”

Seeing that Annelise was too busy dealing with her own situation, the High Priest quickly stepped forward and said, “Let’s not rush the chief’s matters. Back when my matriarch died, the chief position was vacant for three years, and nothing went wrong.

“All we have to do is arrange for the male shifters to continue our daily patrols. As for everything else, I’ll manage them for now.”

The tribe members largely agreed with the High Priest’s suggestion.

After all, opinions about whether Annelise should become chief varied wildly-different arguments, different reasons, supporters and opponents alike.

Even if the High Priest made Annelise chief right now, it would be difficult to convince

everyone.

Elder Clariona took the initiative and proposed that both the chief and the shaman be sentenced to death by fire, which was to be carried out publicly on the night of the full moon five days later.

Traditionally, the day was spent burning hay to drive away evil and illness. It was also the day when criminals were executed.

Back in the day, shifters who colluded with enemy tribes and harmed their own would be burned alive on this day.

Annelise was in favor of this suggestion. One reason was that it would temporarily remove the chief from the situation. Another was that it bought her time to question the shaman about her true form.

To put it simply, if the shaman didn’t know anything, she wouldn’t have started verbally guiding and influencing the original owner after crossing over.

After thinking it through, Annelise grabbed Riven and hurriedly asked, “Why do you insist on forming a bond with me to become my mate? Our deal was five chickens. You didn’t say anything about becoming mine!”

All her mates, save for Hudson, were there. Even Snowball was present, and they wanted to hear Riven’s explanation. The group subsequently gathered in a corner.

Riven seemed anxious as well. “We’ve already mated, haven’t we? Should we form a bond because of that?”

As soon as he said this, Evan, Adrian, Rokky, and Snowball all turned to look at Annelise, shouting in unison, “You two have mated already?”

Adrian turned his head toward Evan and said, “Hold me. I can’t take this anymore. I’m about to pass out.”

Immediately, he collapsed to the floor.

“Hey! Hang in there!” Everyone rushed to stop the rabbit.

Adrian practically sprang back up. “I’m already bonded, but I still haven’t mated! How can you mate with her before even being bonded? Where’s the fairness in this?”

“I can’t believe you’re bullying the bunny like this. Do you even have a conscience?” Rokky, who had never fought over mating before, spoke up for once. “I haven’t either…”

Adrian turned to look at him. “You don’t count.”

Then, he pointed right at Riven. “How dare you mate with our matriarch before even forming a bond with her? Even though rules differ slightly between tribes, mating without a bond is something unforgivable!

“You’re only supposed to mate after becoming Ms. Crawford’s mate. Otherwise, what’s the difference between us shifters and savage beasts”

Hearing this, Riven felt cornered. “Annelise, please explain it to him. I was hit with the heat- inducing herb. I would’ve entered my heat cycle for three days, but because of you, it lasted less than 24 hours.

“It was you who stripped me bare and mated with me. Isn’t that why things have turned out like this? Now that we’ve mated, why won’t you form a bond with me?

“I’ve always played by the rules. You’re the one breaking them now!”

Annelise felt wrongly accused, and she raised her hands. “Since when did I mate with you? Quit talking nonsense and trying to frame me. Nothing happened between us!”
